This was once known as the Salmar Community Theatre. When the Salmon Arm Committee Association opened the new four-screen Salmar Grand Theatre in May 1997, the old Salmar Theatre closed as a first-run theater that same month but continued to operate as a concert venue.
Actual opening date is May 16, 1997. It originally housed 592 seats total (with 292 seats in Screen 1, 140 seats in Screen 2, 110 seats in Screen 3, and 90 seats in Screen 4).
A Walmart now occupies the former Kmart, which opened on January 28, 2004 after relocating from its older location on 1189 Huffman Road, which is an ex-Woolco that opened on November 13, 1984.
Construction of the East building began in June 1996, and the three additional screens that officially became an eight-plex were added on December 14, 1996. The Michishita Hiroki Design Office-designed renovation took place on June 25, 2005.

This closed during GCC’s bankruptcy in the Summer of 2000. However, I cannot find the exact closing date, but all I know is that it continued into as far into July and possibly August.
Three days after the original Takatuski Loco 9’s closure, the Takatsuki Alex Cinema opened nearby, which happened three days later. It’ll have its own CT page soon.
The screen was gone by 1981, meaning that it may’ve closed sometime in the 1970s.
